Maybe he or she had an exam this morning. Let's hope someone who loves his or her school has the guts to tell who set the fire at the Charleston School for Math and Science. The little miscreant could move on to bigger and nastier pranks.
Intentionally set fire breaks out in Charleston Charter School for Math and Science bathroom By Jack Evans
Toilet paper dispensers in two bathroom stalls acted as fuel for a fire Tuesday morning at the Charleston Charter School for Math and Science, officials said.
The fire was set intentionally, Charleston Fire Department Deputy Fire Marshal Rick Anewalt said. Crews responded at about 10 a.m. to the school, located at 1002 King Street, and extinguished the fire.
An evacuation was already underway when crews arrived, and no injuries were reported. The incident is still under investigation.
Though the fire was contained to the bathroom, Anewalt said water from the sprinkler system caused more serious damage when it overflowed the bathroom and went into the second-floor hallway.
Anewalt said he didn't want to speculate on the financial extent of the damages, but "it's definitely going to be more than $10,000."
Except for one area damaged by smoke and water, the school was reoccupied and remained open for the rest of the day, according to a Facebook post from the fire department. Fire investigators, along with school officials and the Charleston Police Department, are reviewing the incident.
Mary Carmichael, executive director of the Public Charter School Alliance of South Carolina, said in an email statement the school will be open Wednesday.

One would think that with a MS Principal, HS Principal, Assistant Principal, Student Concern Specialist, and Athletic Director someone would have been on top of this.
